For the clothes and shoes for my kids, I look for sales. I shop at the end of the season. I stocked up on several sizes for the next 2-3 years… for my daughter, last Sept, Crazy 8 had a coupon and a sale on summer clothes. I wait for the good sale. I wait for the good sale.

Send your spouse to do the grocery shopping. When you do need something, shop with a friend that won’t let you go overboard. You go weekend e-baying, garage-saling or to the flea markets. What you have leftover is how much you can spend. If you think you need it, attend shopoholics anonymous.

We always account for one night for a date night out and one or two nights to take care of leftovers. They add up fast! Next, I pick the meals.
